A "solid bullshit call" is even better when it's accurate. But what do you call someone who throws the bullshit flag without having his own facts straight? According to King Abdullah II's website, ( https://www.kingabdullah.jo/index.php/en_US/pages/view/id/148.html )he was a qualified Cobra pilot with the Jordanian Air Force. So maybe the "news" outlets reporting he's a pilot know just a little more than BB Stacker gives them credit for. I don't really know what a "right-wing clickbait site" is, but I have heard that Brian Williams is reporting he was in the front seat of the King's cobra on a strike flown last night. Gotta love the MSM.

He is Blackhawk pilot and still flys almost daily just like his dad, who was a fixed-wing pilot before him. The picture above is when he was the jump master on a Special Operations jump outside Amman. King Abdullah puts his money where is mouth is and is a bad-ass...

Yet liberals everywhere call Chris Kyle a psychopath because he called radical Muslims "savages." If immolating a man inside a cage on film does not make the cut for savage status, I don't know what would.

I see your King of Jordan and raise you a Leader of the Free World.

Allow me to quote myself here:

Chang, I'm not bitter, and while you and Learjetter may disagree with my statement, I'm passing along words of what a ton of people think. My proudest accomplishments of saving lives during TICs, killing bad guys, training new pilots, etc. has not meant $hit to the USAF in comparison to my skills in my additional duties (which I excelled in) but I can admit that work was std USAF qweep with little to zero real world impact outside keeping leadership happy with green metrics on ppt. Chang, I advise you to listen to all the people who have realized and reacted to the fact the USAF system does not always promote the best "leaders". Instead it favors risk adverse, metric chasing personnel managers who will go with the system. Why do you think so many people say Robin Olds, Chuck Yeager and other historic leaders would have been passed over majors in this USAF? They see it...they get it.

Are there enough targets to justify more sorties? I'm sure the BUFF guys are itching to get back in the fight. Load them up with a 48 M117s and have a ball.

We don't need any aircraft there or ground troops either. Only SCL necessary is one-each Minuteman III.

"They hate us cuz they ain't us"

Well, POTUS is certainly coming out with a very aggressive tone - I'll go ahead and call that response one of the weakest possible ways to respond to something like this, that I can imagine. He would have been better off not saying anything at all, but was trapped (and therefore had to respond) because of the presence of that visiting head of state. See story (linked-to) earlier. Oh, and I feel like he's got our back, and he'll really let us go kick some *ss. I hope some of you young dudes you get the opportunity to degrade and ultimately defeat them (somehow). Seriously, for those downrange - I pray for your safety. FM edit: Didn't know this would start a new page, changed reference to "earlier" article, rather than "above."

Young guys reading these posts: this is the exact type of officer you do not want to be like. For every Vetter, there's 10 officers putting others ahead of themselves. Seek out those guys/gals for mentorship and avoid the "Vetters" of the Air Force like the plague.

He's not a pilot. His dad was, but he never has been. Given the fact that the "news" outlets reporting the story are all right-wing clickbait sites I'm calling bullshit.
